Evan and Julia McDonald share a love that has no boundaries. They are happily married and have a wonderful family. When Evan has to take a last minute business trip to fill in for an injured colleague, Julia becomes slightly paranoid. She envisions the worst possible scenarios for what may happen to her husband while in Colombia. Evan calmly accepts her advice and promises that he will be careful. As Evan kisses her goodbye, he tells her how much he will miss her and that they will celebrate when he comes home. Later that evening, Julia is waiting for Evan to call and tell her that he arrived safely; however, when the phone rings it is Harold, Evan's boss, on the other end. His voice confirms Julia's worst fears that something has happened to her husband. Harold tells her that Evan has been kidnapped. What will she do now?

With the love of her life missing in a foreign country, Julia vows to do whatever it takes to bring him back home to his family. She meets with all the appropriate people, and immerses herself in the Colombian culture. Even after five years, she is still struggling and is as determined as ever to bring Evan home. On the day that she is going to meet with officials in Washington, D.C. to try and have her husband's case reopened, she receives a phone call that sends her world spiraling. Will her heart survive the news?

Georgia Bockoven has captured the true meaning of a soul mate. She has created a strong cast of characters starting with Julia. A portion of the story is told through a series of letters that Julia writes to her husband in anticipation of his return. Through these letters, the reader learns of their first meeting and their subsequent courtship. The story takes some unexpected turns and contains some shocking revelations, but through it all Ms. Bockoven has skillfully woven an alluring romance. IF I'D NEVER KNOWN YOUR LOVE is a poignant tale of love and courage. It is an amazing read.

SUMMARY

"I'm going to miss you. Every minute of every hour…"

With those words, Julia's husband stepped into his taxi and was gone. Evan McDonald. Julia's lifeline—and the doting father of her two beautiful children. From the moment she'd first spotted him in high school so many years before, Julia had known they'd always be together.

Now…Evan's business trip to Colombia becomes deadly when he's kidnapped, and Julia is thrown into a tailspin of horror…and waiting.

For five tortured years Julia does whatever it takes to bring Evan home. Despite her grief and rage at losing the man she loves, she vows to keep struggling. Until she receives a call that shatters her hopes of Evan's return. But then…
